Banned from H.E.L.L.

 

“The world is full of kings and

 queens who blind your eyes and

 steal your dreams, it’s heaven and

 hell.” — Black Sabbath

Banned From H.E.L.L. is a Detroit

 band paying tribute to the Dio years

 of the legendary metal band Black

 Sabbath. It prides itself on

recreating the true Black Sabbath

 Heaven & Hell experience, capturing

 its sound and visual essence, in an

 unforgettable live performance.

 

The band formed after Ronnie’s

 untimely death in 2010, as the result

 of a group of area musicians coming

 together on a whim to perform a

 handful of tunes dedicated to their

 fallen hero. The collaboration was

 so electric, it built a demand for

 more shows and Banned From

 H.E.L.L. was born.

 

Since that time, the band has taken

 efforts to drill down that Dio-era

 sound capturing Ronnie’s haunting

 vocals, Iommi’s signature guitar

 tones and the thunderous rhythm

 section that Sabbath is known for.

 

A series of summer festival

 appearances, including Harley Fest

 and Detroit Bike Week, Bay City

 Fireworks, the AuSable River Boat

 Cruise, that Metal Show with Eddie

 Trunk and a Detroit Music Award

 nomination have helped solidify

 the band as the area’s premiere

 Dio-era Black Sabbath tribute.

 

A single of “Children of the Sea”

 was recorded and issued in 2015

 and marks the band’s debu

t recorded effort.
